I'm having a hard time turning my main dial on my camera.

my understanding is that the dial has a stop to keep from rotating 360 degrees and that it's since been improved in the 700d. does the dial turning improve in the other direction or is it hard to turn both ways?

if it's the latter, i suggest sending it to canon repair or your local repair shop ...

No, he is talking about the settings dial, not the mode dial. And I agree with above poster - looks like the wheel gradually got 'gunked up'. How old is the camera? Was it ever exposed to any kind of elements like sand or sea spray?

Oh, I hope so... i'd rather have that than having some gears broken inside.
i think it's about 3-4 years, and i did brought it with me to the beach once, but that was years ago.
